I see Margate's very own Lady of the Soiled Bedsheet, Tracey Eminem, is odds on favourite to win the competition to design a sculpture for Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth.
And rather than knitting a lifesize model of President de Gaulle out of her own underarm hair, which is the kind of thing one might expect given her past form, she's actually come up with a charming group of meerkats to fill the empty plinth. Good on yer, Trace!

I saw the item on South East Today tonight, and thought for once that she had done a normal design. One thing though, the meerkats should be larger so they can be viewed easily.
Apparently the meerkats heads will swivel and their eyes will be fitted with CCTV making them practical as well. Congratulations Tracey!
Quite liked Antony Gormley's idea, myself. With the small refinements that clients should be chosen by the courts and should remain there for at least a couple of days.
Would we be able to pelt them with rotten tomatoes like the old stocks?
Personally I rather liked the stainless steel mirrors idea which would turn Nelson's Column on its head!
Why not just put a lion on it to match the rest!
How about a giant shell lady like the one they are going to put in Margate Old Town? Or would that be too naff?
What about going for a bronze over size statue of either Geoffrey Archer or Jonathan Aitken...mmm!
How about sticking a giant bronze of Nelson's other column there?
